You could add Newtownards airfield, a small WW2 airfield now in use as a civilian airfield, St Angelo outside Enniskillen, another WW2 strip now in civvy hands. Also, Belfast actually has 2 airports, the George Best Airport at Sydenham in East Belfast, which would still have been called the City Airport in 2000, its a smaller airport capable of handling anything up to a 737, and the main international airport at Aldergrove, capable of handling 747's etc. Aldergrove is 20 or so miles out of Belfast towards Lough Neagh and Antrim. Another port to consider would be Warrenpoint on the border on Carlingford Lough.

I like the work you're doing and please don't take this as a criticism, just a local perspective

Hi Tigger,

I'm also from Ireland, although the southern part. Castlereagh and Newtonabbey are typos. I used the stats for cities over 50,000 people but I was in a rush finishing off Northern Ireland so I missed that. St. Angelo and the others are airfields and there are dozens across Britain and Ireland that I didn't include. But I believe Ryanair were recently interested in using Langford Lodge, so I surmised that it would have been capable of flying military aircraft if they could use their aircraft from it. I wasn't sure about the status of George Best Airport at this time. I knew it wasn't a full sized airport and that Shorts had a factory on its grounds. But with the proximity of Belfast International and Aldergrove I just ommited it.
